From CPS Threats to Full Recovery: A Family’s Integrative Cancer Journey

YTY Ryan Stern In this deeply moving episode of Younger Than Yesterday, Ian Clark sits down with integrative health researcher and educator Ryan Sternagel to share the extraordinary story of his son, Ryder.At just eleven months old, Ryder was diagnosed with Stage 4 neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive cancer of the nervous system that had already spread through his spine and into his hips. What began as a small lump in his back became what doctors described as “the tip of the iceberg.”What followed was a collision between two worlds: conventional oncology and integrative healing. Faced with rapidly shifting treatment plans, pressure from hospitals, and threats from child protective services, Ryan and his wife were forced to navigate one of the most complex medical landscapes imaginable.This episode is not a rejection of conventional care. It is a story of measuring, questioning, personalizing, and integrating — and of trusting intuition when the path forward is unclear.Eleven years later, Ryder is thriving. He skis, mountain bikes, practices jiu jitsu, and lives fully. His journey sparked a global movement that now helps thousands of families facing similar challenges.Connect with The Stern Method:- Website: thesternmethod.com- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesternmethod/- Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheSternMethod/videosDiscount Code: ACTIVATION20 - ACTIVATIONConnect with Ian Clark:- Website: https://activationproducts.com/- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ianclarkactivated/- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ianactivatedDisclaimerThe content of the Younger Than Yesterday podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.
